Overview

Sign language is the use of hand gestures and facial expressions to communicate without vocalization. It is a vital form of communication for people who are deaf, mute, or hard of hearing, allowing them to express their feelings, thoughts, and desires. Sign language can also be used to teach the hearing impaired a form of communication. It is native to many cultures and often used in combination with another form of language, such as English or Spanish. Sign language has a rich visual form, making it a powerful tool for communication and helping to bridge the gap between the hearing and non-hearing communities.
